q. A. IL. Enterta m ment.

Any effort made by so popular an
orgization as the G. A. r. for the good
of the community ought not to require
especial pleading upon the part of the
newspapers. No person can be ignorant
of the purpose for which the entertain
ment on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings will be given. Incalculable
good must come from having a foe
exhibit at St. Louis when the G. A. r.
National Encampment meets. Every
one Of the business men should take
time to think and then patronize these
efforts.
The programmes are very excellent and
the reputation of the persons appearing
will insure enjoyable performances. An
affair in which all are go deeply inter.
estsd should not reqire special canvass
ers. 1t is work and continued work
that has put our country to the front
and every good work should be en-
couraged.

"HELD BY The ENEMY"
A Most Artistic Entertain nent
at the Grand.

Last night Held by the Enemy was
presented for che first time at the Grand
Opera House. The house was filled to
its utmost capacity and with an adi-
ence distinguished for its fashion and
intelligence. The play is from the facile
pen of Mr.. VIM. Gillette, the author of
The Prirate Secretary. As respects its
politics, its construc tion is faultless, and
it might be produced in Boston or
Charleston and give no offense to either
community. 1t is an excellent effort to
bury forever the asperties arising out of
the war, and to reconcile the two sec.
tions of the nation. In other respects
the structure of the piece is very artis-
tic, and the stage effects, which are all
brought with the company, are excel.
lent. The battle scene, with its clash.
ing of horses feet, its bursting bombs,
burning buildings and falling walls is a
superb bit of setting.
The cast is uniformly strong at all
points. Each actor is admirably fitted
to his role, and each does his part with
an artistic finish rarely seen on any
stage.
The more exigent roles are taken by Mr..
Henry Miller, as Col. Prescott" Mr..
James Neill, as "Liet. Gordon Hayne,"
Mr.. Gillette, himself as the special artist
of Leslie's, Miss Kate Denim Wilson as
"Miss McCreery," and Miss Viola Allen
and Miss Louise Dillon as her two
nieces. Mr.. Leslie Allen, as "Uncle
Remus, "the house slave of the McCreery
mansion, must not be overlooked. In
fact anything more charmingly natural
and artistic than this old servant of the
house in the person of Mr.. Allen, or of
"Susan McCreery"as interpreted by Miss
Dillon, would be very hard to conceive
of. Mr.. Miller has voice of excellent
modulstion and expression added to a
fine personal appearance. By all means
see this excellent performance before the
week closes.
The talented humorist and coined.
ian, Louis Harrison and his company of
comedians, appear at the opera house
next week, in the plays Skipped by the
Light Of the Moon and Out of the Fry.
ing Pan into the Fire. The engagement
commences with matinee on July 4th.
Many new features have been introduced
in this performance since last seen here
and it is now described as being funnie
than ever before.

LONDON, June 27.-In the House o.
Commons tonight w. H. Smith, FRS
Lord of the Treasury, replying tc
Johnson, said that no proposal to es
tablish diplomatic relations between
England and the Vatican had evei
been contemplated, nor any such pro
posal been made to or by the Govern.
ment.
Smith announced that the Cove rn-
ment intended to proceed with the
Crimes bill until it passed the reports
stage.
Robertson (Liberal) moved that a
new clause be added to the bill, pro.
vided that the Act could be repealed by
an order in Council. This, he said,
would prevent the House of Lords
kee Jlng the Act on the statute book in
defiance of the House of Commons.
Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
opposed the clause.
Morley moved that the duration of
the act be limited to three years. 1t
was the first time, he said, that any
government had had the shameful cour-
age to. propose to perpetuate coercion.
This was the first government that cast
to the winds the old.fasnioned regard for
the liberty of subjects, and this excep-
tional legislation should not last one day
longer than the circumstances de.
manded.
Webster, Attorney-Geueral, opposed
Morly's motion.
Gladstone urged that the special
character of the bill was reason for
limiting its duration. Its enactment as
permanent measure would aggravate
existing evils and intensity that aliena-
tion and estrangement from law wherein
lay the fundamental evil of Ireland's so
cial condition.
Sir Wilfred Lawson, suggesting the
amendment, said it was an honor to
America to encourage those who were
fighting for the freedom of Ireland. The
amendment was rejected,

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

@~s'ONsNfS@ @SDS w.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Secre.
tary of the Interior has received an
answer, respecting all the land grants OF
the railroads, named in his rule, dated
May 23d. requiring them to show cause
why the several orders of withdrawal
from tb settlement of lands within
their indemnity limits should not be
revoked, and the lands embraced therein
restored to settlement. The Atlantic
and Pacific Company claims that it has
not failed to give ample notice of its
indemnity rights, and claims that the
notice heretofore given already shows
that by the past aud present selection of
all lands wi hin its available indemnity
limit, their grant is deficient more than
one million acres th1n the contract be-
tween the United States and the Allan.
tic and Pacific Company calls for. 1t
would be serious violation, If with the
knowledge of these facts, any reversion
of the expecting indemnity with
drawal is made or other action
taken tending to defeat, impair or
cloud the rights of the company therein
That the delay in the selection has
arisen from the failure of the United
States to make a survey of the granted
indemnity lands, or to ascertain and
settle the boundaries of the small land
claims with such certainty that the pre-.
else acreage of loss therein can be de-
termined, SO as to permit the settlers
prior to the time of the railroad grant
to make known their claims by proper
description, and finally by creating ln-
dian and other reservations within the
grant, and enlarging Others,
and its refusal to permit surveys to be
made, on the company s.deposit of the
cost thereof. Notwithstanding these
difficulties the company states it has
done all things possible to identify its
losses and make its selections, and SUBJ
mits that neither in law, equity nor
good conscience should the existing with.
drawals be rescinded.

Investigations 1ntD the Work.
ings of the Union Pacific.

OMAHA, June 27.--The Pacific Inves
I tigating Commission resumed its session
to-day. w. A. Paxton, leading stock.
yard man, testified as to lease given by
the Union Pacific to company in which
he was interested at Council Bluffs and
to having got an exclusive lease. No
other stockyard company could com.
pete with his as long as it was
in operation. His company got the
best of the transaction. Witness
didn't know that the Union Pacific had
paid his company any rebate until Gov.
Pattison showed him they had.
Leavitt Burnham, former Land Com
missioner of the Union Pacific, testified
to the policy. of the company as to the
disposition of the agricultural lands to
actual settlers and the sale of grazing
lands in large sections. The company
patented lands as fast as they could be
settled. There had been considerable
stealing" as he would call it of money
taken by local authorities along the line
from the company. One school district
in order to get as much money as pos.
sible was made seventy.five miles long.
w. f. Gualey, lawyer of Omaha,
had been employed by Thurston as the
Union Pacific attorney to look after rail-
road legislation at Lincoln. The work
of the thirty.four witnesses had been to
talk with members of the Legislature
about railroad measures and report to
Thurston. There were some employees
of the Union Pacific who were members

ton said these members were Knights of

John r. Manchester, claim agent for

GLOBE, Ariz., June 27.-Ahout 10
o'clock last night Mexican greatly OK
cited made his appearance in Globe and
represented his escape from large body
OF Indians in the vicinity of Coyo te
Holes, twelve miles distant from thi 8
place. The Indians particularly in
quired the number of men at Globe, and
when the Mexican in reply said a great
many he was told he lied, that there was
not many, and that they (the Iudiansl
were going to Globe and would be there
before 6 o'clock in the morning. There
was stampede from the suburbs to the
town, and men mounted guard on the
hills. Happily the predicted attack did
not take place. At ii O'Clock p. M.
Lieutenant Mcdonald and many white
troops arrived from Fort Mcdowell, and
their presence has relieved the anxiety

at the isolated ranches aad camps in the

THE CAMPBELL CASE.
Mr. Daly's Telling Argument
Against PaSadena,s Ordinance.

The argument in the case of the Peo-
pie VS.. j. E. Campbell was commenced
in Judge Cheney's court yesterday after.
noon. The defendant is charged with
selling liquor in Pasadena in contraven-
tion of city ordinance passed by the
City Trustees. prohibiting the sale of
liquors within the town limits.
City Attorney DAILY, of Los Angeles.
appeared on behalf of Campbell, and
made very strong argument on behalf
of his client. He deprecated the idea
that town can pass an ordinance pro.
hibitng the sale of any property within
its borders, when the sale of the same
commodity is sanctioned by law in every
other place in the State. Liquors are
without question property, and as such
are entitled to protection. The whisky
traffic is the only business that is imposed
upon. At the present time and for
lest burden of taxation. y 1t is to be said
that the law provides for the taxation of
property, when at the same time it
refuses to allow it to be bought or solds
There is no provision in the statute
against the buying or selling Of property
of any kind. There are only two ways
by which the selling of whisky can be
stopped and that is by submitting it to
the votes of the people or by constitu-
tional amendment. The course taken
by the people of Pasadena, the speaker
claimed, interferes with the freedom of
religious rights. Ii the churches of the
town on communion Sunday desire to
obtain wine for administering the sacra-
ment, they are restrained from so doing
by the ordinance. Referring to the
injustice of the thing the speaker said:
"Pistols are not manufactured to kill
people with. but if some one wields
them with deadly effect are
people to be prohibited from buying
them? If man dies from making a
glutton of himself are we all to be pre-
vented from eating? The drinking of
whisky is not an indecent practice, as
recited in the ordinance. Some of our
best citizens drink. 1t is the excessive
use of it that makes man beast. The
same rule applies to drugs. Because a
person takes an overdose of poison, is
the physician to be estopped from, per.
haps, saving the life of some unfortu.
nate by a moderate dose of the same
drug?"
Further argument was continued until
next Thursday.

a FURIOUS FIRE.
Marshfie1d, Wis.,a Mass OF Ruins
Heavy Losses.


MILWAUKEE, Wis. June ga fire
almost swept the town of Marshfield out
of existence this afternoon and 200O peo.
pie are homeless. The loss is not less
than million dollars. All communica-
tion by wire is cut off and it is almost
impossible to learn the particulars. A
locomotive spark started the blaze at noon
in the lumber yard of the Upham fur.
niture factory and rapidly developed
into a roaring fire that spread toward the
town. The insufficient fire protection
facilities, prevented any resistance to
the flames and soon several flourishing
factories and business blocks along Main
street and the adjoining residences were
wrapped in flames. The people gath
cred such household effects as
they could and fled to the
woods. The heat was SO intense
that $500 feet of the Wisconsin Central
track which runs through street OF
the town, was bent and twisted into
most grotesque shape. Travel cannot
be resumed on this account until to.
morrow. A special from Stevens Point
and Chippewa Falls conveyed fire en-
gines to the place, but the fire was be-
yond control.
